Normal Operation
Communicating with a PC
The Illuminator uses an intuitive, user-friendly, web-browser system. You can use any
standard browser on any computer to communicate with the Illuminator. No special software
is required.
Communicating with the Illuminator is identical to “Surfing the Internet”. Information is
displayed by clicking links and buttons.
You can connect to an Illuminator either locally via a cable or remotely via internet or a dial-up
modem. Once connected, operation is identical regardless of connection. The only difference
you may notice with a remote connection is a slightly slower response.
Connect locally to the Illuminator as described in Appendix A.
A successful log-on will automatically display the "Lights" screen.
Lights
This screen shows the current state of all light scenarios, their operating mode, availability,
and the users controlling them. The administrator can override any user and turn the light
scenarios on or off by simply selecting “ON” or “OFF” and clicking the “Save” button.
The Illuminator provides a convenient “Black-out” feature. A lighting scenario can be
temporarily closed by selecting “Closed” and clicking the "Save" button. No user (except the
administrator) can control the lights on closed scenarios. Use this feature for field closures
due to wet surface, civil works, grass re-generation etc. To re-open a scenario, simply select
OPEN and click the "Save" button.
NOTE: Opening and Closing scenarios does not change user PINs, user access rights or
access times.
